Your Favorite Apps for OS X

I’m an app junkie. Without fail, my favorite blog posts/topics are the golden nugget applications that people can’t live without on their OS X system. No matter how often I come across a blog post/comment thread of this topic I find at least one cool application I didn’t know about before.

Because I don’t think you can get enough of this stuff, here’s my list, then a list of links to similar posts for when you’ve got a few extra minutes/days/hours to kill. And please, comment with your lists as well. Because no matter how common you think the apps are that you use, there may be somebody out there that hasn’t heard of it.

Onyx/Cocktail/MacJanitor – all basically do the same thing, which is clean up junk that accumulates on your system. Run unix tasks to refresh your system from time to time. All worth a try for when your system seems to be bogging down. (I believe they’re all free

TinkerTool – allows you to change some of the defualt OS X settings to be more in line with your usage style (freeware)

Ok, that’s my list. I really tried to keep it short. Really. You should see the insanity that is my Applications directory…

So here are some links to other threads/listings of great OS X applications you may or may not have heard of:43Folders.com – this list will take you FOREVER to get through…So worth a few hours of your time.tuaw.com – a relatively small but good look at some other apps

So what about you? The lists I’ve typed and linked above should cover most everything (I’d think), but as I said, I have yet to come away from a listing/comment thread without finding something new and awesome to take-up a home in my Applications directory. So let’s have it!
